Mr. Curchill - I have been subscribing to an e-mail from Continental Air Lines, now merged with United Airlines, for years, which uses a third party service called e-miles (http://www.e-miles.com/) to help frequent flyer customers who are not flying regularly to keep their frequent flyer reward program account active. It sends several surveys out each week and you usually earn 5 miles for participating in a short, one screen questionaire. If you accept the service, product or make a charitable donation rergarding the survey, you can earn up to 500 miles or more. When you get to 500 miles, you transfer the points to your frequent flyer account, keeping it "active"
There are a continuing Groupon, iTunes and Fossil links on the "maximize your miles" screen you are taken to after you finsih a survey to see how many miles you have accumulated and if there are any other survey's you have not taken yet. The only way to get miles is to click on that iTunes link, which starts iTunes on my MacBook Pro. I do it this way because I have not found a way to read my iCloud e-mail using its webmail access on the Internet through the WiFi connect on my Sony BD DVD Player which is attched to my Sony television to which my Apple TV, also, is attached.
In the More Like This section up and to the right of this discussion, there is a link to the "Rental Moives not showing up on Apple TV" discussion when a green check next to it, indicating a possible relevance to my problem. The disicusion there seems to be about the difference between "streaming" and "syncing" from various devices with iTunes (in our home that would be my MacBook Pro and iPhone 4 and my wife's MacBook Air and iPad 2). I thnink I am syncing, since that is the buttom that appears on my iTunes page when I am in the Devices section with Apple TV selected and having clicked on Movies of the Settings, Movies and Photos choices.
The Movies choice shows the two boxes: Rented Movies and On "Apple TV" with the movies in the Rented Movies box. There is a Move arrow box there and when I clikck on it and it movies the movie to the On "Apple" TV box and the buttoms in the lower right and corner of iTunes change from Sync to Revert (this moves the movie back to the Rented Movies box) and Apply, which causes the problem listed in my first entry in this dicussion.
A little long, but does this give you a better picture of my setup, what I have tried and what my problem is?
I apreciate your interest.
